This Week’s Theme: Give a virtuous character a sordid past. She threw her keys onto the counter and sank into the chair, head in hands. What would she do now? What could she do now? This was supposed to have been a simple meeting. Sign him up for Boy Scouts, offer to help with the troop, and be the person they all knew her as. This small town all knew they could count on her. She often volunteered her free time to help with her son’s projects. Most of the parents trusted her. The would let her take the boys out for ice cream or to help with projects. She had created a wonderful life for the two of them out here in the country. That life was about to be shattered. She had managed to maintain composure when she walked into the meeting and saw him. He was older, perhaps a bit grey on the edges and definitely a bit out of shape, but there was no mistaking him. He kept quiet when she was introduced, but she could see in his eyes that he remembered her. She watched him during the meeting, always catching him staring at her. He didn’t just remember her, he remembered the past as well. If that past got out, God help her son.

A better day September 28, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise , add a commentI am hoping today is a better day. I was a complete and total stress ball last night over the refrigerator. Hello? What was up with that? Anyway, it is mostly fixed and it did force me to do a clean…
What is it with 5 year olds and thinking that they don’t need to listen to you? I told Soleil not to do something yesterday and boom, she looks right at me and does it anyway. I can expect this at 3, but at 5? Girl, you already tested the hell out of me. STOP IT!
Tomorrow, we are test driving a new sitter! Ha! Actually, it is Soleil’s old pre-K teacher. Both girls love her and I would hire her as a live in nanny if I could! She is Soleil’s soul-mate! Since she isn’t actually teaching Luna yet, it’s okay for her to sit for us! I am so excited because I know the girls trust her and will listen…
I just put in about 6 auction snipes for ebay. All on Disney princess costumes. The girls love dress up and I know they would love these. I know, Jay just put us into cash austerity, but hell, I can do this!
I discovered yesterday, that my boresight code is not going as I had planned. Stupid bugger! So I spent yesterday learning all about cubic spline interpolations and I am now working on the maneuver interpolations. Sigh… Sometimes I wish my ego on coding was just a tad smaller so I didn’t just plunge ahead without a plan!
Today is better! And if it isn’t, hell, I’m doing a mommy night at the Melting Pot tonight. Can you say chocolate fondue? I knew you could!
